Guido Fawkes was a Catholic Terrorist who was a bit part player in a plot to blow up the English Parliament back in 1605. Every 5th of November in the
U.K the failure of this plot and the subsequent conviction of Guido Fawkes is celebrated by letting off fireworks and building large bonfires, where
an effigy of Fawkes is thrown onto.

Edit- Here in the U.K it is known as Bonfire night, Guy Fawkes night or Fireworks night.

Guy Fawkes Day is a British holiday, which means it's really old. A long time ago in a land far away, Guy Fawkes, widely acknowledged as the
world's second terrorist (Judas Iscariot being the first) tried to blow up England's White House, also known as the Houses of Parliament. He had
almost succeeded in his plan, but was foiled in a dark tunnel by the 3 musketeers, whom he had informed earlier of his plans after capturing them and
placed them in a deathtrap that inconveniently malfunctioned. England celebrates this day by force-feeding a criminal candies(which are called sweets)
for 3 days, tying said criminal to a tree and then having said criminal beaten to sleep(called death) by police(called Bobbies). Children dance in the
spray of gore, eat the sweets and promptly go to bed without brushing.

Does somebody know why the police showed up at the scene?
Was it because of the traffic?
Or was it because the rulers are feared a bit?
It seems like everything was very peaceful before the police showed up, and that atmosphere changed a bit because of them.
So, are they maybe there to provoke?

The mask is taken from the film V for vendetta. The climax has a popular image of the people marching on Parliament all wearing the mask to take down
the cruel police state. Just so happens that it also is on the 5th too and now the rally cry for anon.

It looks like they have corralled them off in the square, there was a post on 4chan today rallying an ultra right group called the templars to show
up. Trouble expected I guess.

How the heck do you come to the conclusion that it was organised by Anonymous. Who is Anonymous? Whoops the answers in the name, he's anonymous. So
anyone could roll up and claim to be him or her for that matter.
Just because one schmuck has got a picture of him on his coat.
Being as London has the highest density of foreigners and the rest are jumped up hoorah henries and henrieters it is their usual MO to congregate in
Trafalgar Square and have a knees up so this aint news.

A drone camera would have been helpful as the fenced in by masses of police standing while who knows what is occurring inside is nearly immpossible to
see... looked like someone on the ground when rushing behind the truck hard to tell of anyone is being brutalized in such things as they all turn
their backs on it and then in such numbers no one can witness what is occuring inside and if beaten facts can twisted to they were violent first and
who could possibly know?
